Heron Lake Plateau we'll be back again someday

Something about this conversation set Kiwi majorly on edge, and she wasn't sure what.  It hadn't started immediately, but as they went, she could feel herself getting more and more agitated.  

What she said made sense, kinda.  I'm not avoiding her.  I just am not gonna go talk to her.  Which was pretty much the same thing, but not in Kiwi's mind.  Because in her mind she didn't have anything that she needed to say right now.

Kiwi did turn, though, and look at her best friend uneasily.  She needed to clear something up, because the discussion hadn't been exactly solid on it.  You wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye.  Right?  She asked, sounding less sure on this one than she had been when talking about Bat.  Bat had been her Sequoia before Sequoia, in a way, and she would definitely not be ok with having a repeat.
